bush administration and currently the president and ceo . i want to get your take on romney's speech and ryan and christy and the whole bit. it is unfair but this is what people are talking about. here is the post this morning, it is not romney, it is clint eastwood, the headline is feeling lucky, punk? if you were organizing this convention would you have let romney get upstaged like this? why did this happen? >> i have no idea how something like this happens. obviously when you have somebody like clint eastwood who is an icon to so many americans and around the world, you're obviously very excited about having him come and speak at the convention and you obviously would hope it is one tightly controlled and scripted. i saw somebody compare it to the person at the rehearsal dinner and you're cringing in your napkin wondering what the next world is going to come out. that was wild. i could not believe it. whether it upstaged or not, in the scheme of things it was a very successful convention for mitt romney. the buildup with his wife ann rom

was another establishment endorsement for mitt romney along with george h.w. bush and bob dole, who the latter two gentlemen were not revered in the tea party at the moment. so he may keep going. rick santorum may keep going or a while but once the air comes out of the balloon it becomes more difficult to attract support, more difficult to have any significant primary victories that pose any chance of them winning the nomination. >> john, this is not a done deal, though, shortly? >> simon, i think it is a done deal it's like a game where one lead establishes so substantial and have proven a best shot of the team. where is rick santorum going to beat romney where in essence they turn over the table of calculations on this campaign? that's what he had the opportunity to do in illinois. couldn't do it after failing in michigan and ohio. rick santorum could win that. there are not enough deep states to prevent romney from winning the election and then the primary turns to wisconsin, another midwestern state, maryland, and then to the northeast even if santorum win

you could have a scenario that like what happened in 2000 where george w. bush moved significantly without gore and ultimately became president. >> it's interesting that the poll also shows, as you mention, this 12% of swingable votes in the middle that he could potentially get a hold of. also ensuring that the big money continues to back him moving forward and doesn't decide to switch perhaps for the congressional votes and ensuring that there's a better showing in the house, for example. >> reporter: you know, if i were the romney campaign, simon, i've got multiple things to worry about. that would be one of the least things that i have to worry about. what he's got to do more than anything else is get the share up among women. he tried to do that at the convention. he needs to do it right now. especially white college-educated women. mitt romney has got to get about 60% of the white vote. he's fine among white men to get there but needs to do better among white women, especially upscale suburban white women, the kind that turned away from him on some soc

chairman of the council of economic advisers under george w. bush and adviser to presidential candidate mitt romney. he's in new york city this morning. glenn, great to see you. >> good morning. likewise. >> what exactly does that mean? because of the context of higher taxes, and spending cuts, you would think there would be an economic impact. how can it not involve economics? >> well, there's certainly an economic impact. my point was just that the real issue for us is that our budget rules were designed for a different set of problems. you know, historically, movements in debt were about war and peace. you borrowed money to fight a war, you paid it off in peace time. now we're talking about the rise of the entitlement states. social security and medicare. we need different budget rules. this isn't just about a fiscal cliff. >> the demographics don't exactly help the problem either. we're in a time when the population is getting older and older. the government has to grow in some ways to support that population. >> but here's the concern. if

bush now an economics prof s professor at harvard and ron johnson, director at the institute for new economic thinking and a senior fellow at the roosevelt institute. skwre, good to have you both here. good morning. greg, let me just get you to bounce off of what corker said today. we've had a few senators here and there appear to give on taxes but corker laid it out pretty nicely, if you want to have a discussion about entitlements why wouldn't you get rates out of the way. does that mark a new chapter in these talks? >> it might well. and the whole issue, this whole package is going to look like, republicans have already conceded to some degree on revenue. they'll probably concede a little bit more. the question is what is the president willing to concede on the spending side? the liberal part of the democratic part of the party doesn't want to concede anything on entitlements. that's where the real problem is. the growth of entitlements is going to put us into bankruptcy unless we do something about it. >> do you believe giving him what he wants on rates forces his hand to impress
